in dinky's mind today

the dink here with a much belated addition to my blog...

where the F- have you been!?�, scream my (not literally) hundreds of
readers...well, i'll tell you. there have been some big changes in the dink's life since the start of 2007 and i've been busy as a beaver... ha-ha, i said 'beaver'

[note: i know full well that that phrase makes no sense whatsoever...beavers are not busy unless their dams are continually knocked down and destroyed by pesky neighborhood kids and/or storms]

anyhoo, there's been a question that's been eating away at me like a flesh eating bacteria or possibly a wolverine...
'WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE CAST OF BATTLESTAR GALACTICA CRASH LANDED ON THE LOST ISLAND???!!!'

well, first of all...they would have lasers. adama would quickly secure the hatch for his crew. the survivors of the oceanic flight 815 would be herded up like little children and inspected like cattle. could these people actually be cylons!� starbuck would be thinking to herself... then she would think, that one who calls himself sawyer is pretty hot. i wonder what he would look like swimming in just his jeans� [i know i'm often thinking that myself - along with wondering what it would feel like as he swims through MY jeans]

then, starbuck would take sawyer on a reconnoiter of the island where they would visit the swimming hole and start necking. then, kate & apollo would stumble upon them and then they would all be getting it on when a huge crashing would come through the jungle and one of those huge unseen monsters would tower above them (the monsters that disappeared after episode 8 of season 1) and they would be screaming...

AHHHHH!!!! cut to commercial... (and in 3...2...1)

meanwhile back at the hatch, adama would want to imprison the 'LOST cast' in the old cave with the creek in it, but president roslin would want to reason with them and have both casts mate in order to create more surviving humans...'cut to' the cylons would have contacted 'the others' and they would form an alliance to destroy all the good humans and especially that annoying french woman who lives on the other side of the island...starbuck would shoot the unseen monster - then sawyer would say something witty and sexy, like 'nice shot, blondie...where'd you learn to shoot a laser like that - from watching princess Leia...?' the she'd reply...'put a sock in it sawyer - but then, the attraction would be way too much for them and they'd begin to start making out again...

cut to commercial...product placement - then, next week on...

another low budget - but i'll take er'!

well...after i got the unemployed life down to a science - i received a call from a production called 'REAL TIME'. it's a feature starring RANDY QUAID. i love him! anyhoo... i've started prep and am VERY HAPPY to have some work. it'll take me to the end of march, which is nice...unfortunately, it's ULTRA LOW BUDGET!!!! but meh, it's work! :) so - as usual, i will post pic's and try to blog as often as i can. i hope y'all are doing well! sure hope to see some of you soon! not all of you....just some of you.... HAHAHAHA - just jokin'! pints? i love pints...makes me stand the sight of some of you a lil' longer - ZINGGGGGG!

actors *eyeroll*

ACTRA - PPPHHHFFFTTTT!!!!! c'mon people... i mean, i've been in the 'biz' for lack of a better term, for 13 years... for actors to strike - yet again - infuriates me! i work on set for 16+ hours a day, making shit money...while actors sit pretty in the trailer, until needed, and make 3 times+ as much as i do! for y'all to do this, AGAIN, is massively hurting our industry. over 80% of the crews are not working... people with families to support - all because you want more money...get over it. we all need more money. think ahead...you're fighting for something that, if you get it, won't matter anyway because no one will want to shoot/work here. you're only hurting yourselves - not to mention the thousands of people you've put out of work for 2 months now. thanks...*eyeroll* i would say i work about 110 hours a week... not raking in the 'big' dough...you, work for a minimum of 8 hours a day - and if you go over 8, are making time and a half...! i have to work 14 hours a day before i begin to go into time and a half! but i don't complain - it's work and we should be thankful that we're working. just so you know... if i can't find a job because 'hollywood north' is no more - i'm blaming you. if i have to sit at home and watch another episode of maury and 'i've tested 10 men with dna tests' - i'm blaming you. if i have to buy anymore groceries at the dollar store because that's all i can afford - i'm blaming you...and you better believe, if the time comes, when we do eventually get back to work...and you're lucking enough to have me on set as an AD...if you ask me to get you a coffee/tea...or something from craft - i'd be thinking to myself...do i really want to eat/drink this? - go ahead...i dare ya... fyi - only applies to actra members - yer safe sag...for now that is.... mwah ah ah

...fyi - 'part deux'...

...uh...

so, JIMMY FALLON. I HEART HIM. he's friggin' HILARIOUS! his crooked smile makes my insides quiver. not only is he cute as a button - he's prolly a tiger in the sack.....like me. you know, it's always the quiet ones that you have to watch out fer.

the secret..... ssshhhhhh

the secret has a similar documentary-style format to what the bleep do we know? but without the cheesy storyline and cartoons. i liked what the bleep, but i thought the secret was much better. the secret is about the intention-manifestation model and how to use the law of attraction to create whatever you want. as the movie aptly points out, most people focus their thoughts either on what they don’t want or on reinforcing what they’re already getting. but the way to succeed with intention-manifestation is to keep your thoughts focused on what you desire, even if it seems to have no presence in your life yet. intention-manifestation is the basis for the million dollar experiment, which has been going for almost 7 months now and has collectively manifested over $1.2 million — not a bad result for simply focusing our thoughts on what we want to attract. huuummmmm... my intention-manifestation - om... huuuummmmmm 'i will marry john krasinski...' 'i will look hot in a white string bikini...' 'i will open a beer from my fridge and it will be ice cold and refreshing...' 'i will wake up tomorrow and not have morning breath...' ooommmmm

...fyi...
